(San Francisco, CA - September 27, 2000) - In keeping with its tradition of supporting the literary community, NetRead is hosting its second annual Litstock festival in conjunction with The San Francisco Examiner.

"There wouldn't be a Litstock without NetRead," says Jason Flores-Williams, founder of Litstock and noted author. "These guys support the literary and publishing community in the Bay Area like no one else."

Litstock is a celebration of San Francisco's dynamic literary tradition. The free event takes place this Saturday, September 30, from 12 to 5 p.m. in San Francisco's beautiful Yerba Buena Gardens. Many of the Bay Area's finest writers including Po Bronson, April Sinclair, and Ethan Watters will read from their work. There will be great food and booths featuring literary journals, publishers, and bookstores--most notable of which is the NetRead Cabana at the heart of the festival.
